just imagine... Dan Slott and Mark "im available" Bagely.. --Previous Message-- : SOURCE: NEWSARAMA : : So yeah – Dan Slott’s post Civil War book at : Marvel…what’s it about, who’s in it, where : does it take place? : : Hey – did we mention that Dan Slott is : writing a book set after Civil War in the : Marvel Universe, and he’s excited about it? : : The new series came about, as Joe Quesada : has related, during a Marvel editorial : summit, when the idea of a lot of new series : springing out of Civil War was looked : on…rather dimly. Until Slott made his move. : : “That was amazing,” Slott told Newsarama. : “Tom Brevoort and I had talked about : this…idea – the core idea behind this : secret, secret, super secret, can’t talk : about project and bounced it around. I told : him my ideas for it, and where I would take : it. Along with that, Tom’s wanted to see me : do something a little closer to Arkham : Asylum: Living in Hell just so I don’t fall : into a pigeonhole of being a one-trick pony : – ‘We need something funny, get Slott to do : it.’ I’ve done Punisher stories, and Batman : stories, and Tom wants to see me getting : back to that side of things. Compared with : She-Hulk, this new project is set very much : in the ‘Grrr’ section of the Marvel : Universe. : : “So we bounced this stuff around and went to : the retreat, and Bendis got up and was like, : ‘That’s the best pitch I’ve ever heard at a : Marvel retreat.’ In my mind, I’m eternally : in Brian’s debt. That’s what got the ball : rolling, I think, and looking at the idea : with fresh eyes, and started people : suggesting things that could be done within : the framework we’d set up. Joe Quesada : really got into it, and was pointing out all : kinds of things that we could do with it. : From the germ of the idea, everyone saw all : the possibilities, all the places it could : go, and all the things this could be.” : : As Slott explained, being as vague as : possible, the series is set firmly in the : Marvel Universe, and firmly after Civil War. : : “It really couldn’t be anywhere else…it’s so : hard to talk about it without talking about : it,” Slott said. “It is so dependant on the : end of Civil War. We have an artist, but I : can’t say who yet – and he’s all excited : just from the notes. But seriously, I can’t : even say the premise without giving away the : ending of Civil War. : : “Oh, and by saying what I’m saying next, I’m : neither confirming nor denying that this is : a solo or a team book, because any book : would have many characters in the cast. That : said, I wish I could start telling people : about some of the cast – because people : would be saying that they just have to read : it, or ‘oh, that’s where that might happen!’ : Augh – it’s so hard to talk about it. Trust : me – it will be good!” :
